The Cincinnati Bengals entered this season with championship aspirations but have gotten off a rough start, battling through injuries. A 34-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals last week brought their record to 2-3 but they're heading into an extremely difficult stretch over the next three weeks with games against the Seahawks, 49ers and Bills coming up.

Health is going to be extremely important over the next few weeks and getting Tee Higgins back in the lineup would be huge. Half of perhaps the most talented receiver duo in the league, Higgins had 12 receptions for 129 yards and a pair of touchdowns before missing Week 5 with a broken rib.

Will he be healthy enough to against the Seahawks in Week 6?

Bengals injury update: Tee Higgins is Questionable for Week 6

Injury timeline: Higgins suffered his broken rib in the Bengals' Week 4 loss to the Titans. He did not play last week against the Cardinals but has participated in practice all this week leading up to the game against Seattle.

Expected return: Even if Higgins is a late scratch in Week 5, he'll almost certainly be healthy enough to play in Week 7 against the 49ers.

Potential replacements: If Higgins is unable to play against the Seahawks, or is on the field for a limited number of snaps, Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd and running back Joe Mixon will likely be the primary targets for Joe Burrow. Chase and Boyd have been incredibly productive so far this season, combining for 67 catches, 632 yards and three touchdowns.

Coach's quote: On Monday, Bengals' coach Zac Taylor updated Higgins' status, saying they would, "continue to see how the week goes. He was able to do some stuff as the weekend got closer. I didn't feel comfortable with how he was gonna feel during the game. It wasn't right to put him in that spot."
